The article discusses strategies for parents to help manage their children’s school-related anxiety as the back-to-school season approaches. Dr. Chu-Peralta, founder of Center for Resiliency, emphasizes that parents should first manage their own anxiety to avoid transferring stress to their children. She recommends parents approach conversations calmly and model healthy coping mechanisms.
Additionally, she advises parents to remind children of past successes to build resilience, showing them that overcoming anxiety is possible. The Center offers various psychological services for individuals and families and prioritizes professional development to ensure evidence-based, compassionate care. Their goal is to support students’ academic, social, and emotional well-being during the school transition.
